Huge Taxidermy Black Bear... Not Big Huge!

[harden]

Beautiful day outside today...so I heard, I didn't see it or feel it...Been feeling a burnout coming on so I had to do a mount for myself and the shop. Best way I can keep the burnout from slowing me down...To my taxidermy friends...you'll know what these measurements mean...HUGE !
Eye to nose 6 1/2
Nose to back of skull 18"
Neck 50"+ dependnig on if your choose at the atlas or down further
Shoulders 92"
Made the form from a change out Polar Bear Head and Neck . I used the face from the eyes forward off med Grizzly Bear Change out Head and I found some old shoulders from a Pedestal Zebra form and even had to make them larger.
No Snap-On taxidermy done here.....real nose and just a regular Mohr Jawset.

Well they all came out GREAT ! the Tarh has a nice fluffed mane its good and pronounced and the Klippy and Stienbok were about as perfect as capes can get. Your dip pack guy was Excellent !

First time I seen skinners in an African camp using scalpels and not pocket knives for cape work.

Marlon Beyer Taxidermy in Namibia did the D&P. (Pronto was shipping, Matt Mayers /Genus Logistics did import at JFK); very happy with services provided by all.
